a problem the banking business. of course you updated on this story as we continue to get the details here harty. major u.s. credit agency says it will downgrade the greek debt default status as a result of the second bailout for the country the plan agreed by e.u. leaders includes both governments and private loans are totaling around a hundred and fifty billion euros well the move has boosted the single currency for now but critics say it's only plunging the struggling areas a into an even deeper debt hole artists and the bush will have the details now from brussels. they're putting a brave face on it question remains how much can we believe what they're saying all the germans have come out jungle merkel same is a significant step this. is the good for europe as a whole and good for germany and that is. a historic duty she said she would to

brisk greece now we've seen that. being convinced that europe will emerge stronger from this crisis she did a few minutes there was a. solution to this and it will take successive difficult and different steps to fill the crisis european stock markets have rallied on the news that is the usual reaction because they lost around the week before slipping. fishies pledge as you say to work to bring greece is the level to default is the strengthening calls here for a new european credit rating agency but the real problem of course is that it doesn't tackle the issue of the unsustainable some call it that. eurozone states so greece people protesting against the really very painful cuts that are being imposed on it just last week it's really posed a very difficult package which has been met with fury by the italian people who are

threatening all sorts of very difficult very initial reaction from them and called the problem is that the quits when he. proposed which were rejected by that country's parliament and there are fears that spain will be next so a lot of concerns around europe but the experts here are stressing that the rest of the world continue to go all in and countries like india china even latin america will continue perhaps to take the growth of the world economy on its own shoulders and really help to compensate for the problems here in europe something that is really being stressed increasingly by analysts here in brussels. well mark farber founder of gloom and doom reports he's now intolerances that failure of european economy would not mean the end of the financial world yes there are big markets for markets that are not growing the great. emerging economies are growing very

rapidly export markets are like you're not going to american country through. round and of course freak european middle east and so i don't think this is in your results truth. if you read through. were always the case no were you think about all stories we're covering the question we're asking today is who wins most of the year a crisis all right now here's how opinions divided on the topic the majority of us sure it will be george soros and his financial cronies who will greet the rewards of the troubles while the fish if you believe china will cash in by buying our outrageously cheap assets now more of you think the south of the u.s. wins most it's a man for it spawns timing either never and only three percent think that the european debt is themselves come out on top as they can now get away with paying less will do log on to article called to have

a go or sale the issue. media mogul rupert murdoch seems to have calmed through the u.k. parliamentary hearings on the phone hacking scandal relatively unscathed but he now faces legal challenges in the u.s. with a frenzy over his employees on ethical behavior is taking a different turn many americans say the embattled media empire has done nothing more than reflect national data sheets that no longer valued people's privacy he's gonna just you can has the story. as the scandal over phone hacking by the murdoch media empire rages on the public and political theory has mainly focused on ruthless tabloids out of control prepared to invade people's private lives and even the dad to get the story but some say in this day and age the whole concept of privacy is falling apart and in the u.s. more rapidly than elsewhere every time you tap on your cell or click on google or

use your mail service everybody's sort of just clicks through that you agree to our terms and conditions well those terms and conditions are very very heavily weighted against you and your privacy interests and we see you breaches of privacy happening by corporations all across america all across the world really in every sector surveillance is rampant but really this is all a microcosm of biggest surveille are all which is to say there's little americans can do with the state having sweeping access to their private information access that followed the nine eleven terrorist attacks under a new law known as the patriot act asana law his privacy was taken away from him in two thousand and two when he was the tank by the f.b.i. for absolutely no reason he says and scrutinized for months without charge he's response for nine years he has voluntarily documented nearly every waking hour of his life on the web he has subsequently even turned it into

a form of art seal the toilet i've used so you know that over here for example you know that on sunday november twenty fourth of two thousand and seven i would use this term of i went grocery shopping at safeway over there and there were seventeen i got gas over here he posts copies of every debit card transaction so you can see what he bought where and when a g.p.s. device in his pocket reports his real time visit a location on a map and this is the shot he took on his way to our studio which was immediately out floated on his web site has. says he's extraordinary advantage of his own privacy stems from the ignorance of the authorities but in the fear they decided well that guy looks a little different so he must be arab and if he's arab then he must have explosives everyone knows that that's a logical robbery and we we realize how ridiculous that logic sounds but when your country when your own country takes that on as the basis for national policy. ignorance as the basis of national policy is

a pretty scary situation. and that's how i got caught up for a hot sun privacy has become a rally of the past and he says he's not surprised that journalists or anyone else really would use the same surveillance tactics as the state in that sense it might be of no surprise that the chief architect of good putrid act the lawyer who put it together happens to be one of murdoch's hands used for board directors you served as assistant attorney general in the bush administration and was described by some as the provider of the most sweeping curtailment of freedom in the u.s. since the mccarthy era at a time when corporations and the government can easily hack into people's private lives it doesn't come as a surprise when for example social networks give your personal information and companies or when other industries leave breaching the privacy in the u.s. it's so widespread and people have gotten so used to it that rupert murdoch seems to be perfect part of the system rather than some special bill and with corporation

has been undertaking some unique all lawful practices because here in america they're not so unique i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . and all the operations the list the sunken the pleasure boat area and russia senate republican types of stone has run into difficulty the salvage team did bunny's to raise part of the ship to the surface briefly but it immediately stepped from his harness and sank into the water again the accident on the shoulder of a happened always to groups ago when the pleasure boat went down in minutes stranding one hundred fourteen passengers eight people are still unaccounted for it's hoped the recovered home still holds the missing bodies and may yet reveal all this is to water cools off as west posing accident in decades the operation has been suspended as engineers rebalance the lifting. analyses tom barton reports saying you can. you can always log on to r.t.

dot com to recover the timeline of the tragedy and watch personally panels opposite by visiting to look at how the sunken bulger area looked to the rescue divers we have some exclusive footage there of course being uploaded by our correspondent on the scene of the. now serbia's last war crimes task that gordon hardage has been extradited to the hague officials in belgrade hope his capture and extradition will clear the way it's even the ship but first reports the politicians desire exceptions is not shared by the man on the street. the last of the war crime suspects wanted by the un is heading to the hague it's seen by many as the last obstacle to serbia now gaining easy membership some a skeptical that. the goal placed once again the government keeps.

its fulfilling new demands are coming from brussels with people are not feeling any benefits from it there are actually feeling that things are becoming worse as a result of support for e.u. is dropping so there is a growing gap between the forty the borders and the government that stands and it will probably continue to be an official government poll just out shows support for membership among serbs at its lowest ever its nice surprise that when portugal italy and many more countries are now struggling for the people here no longer believe that the e.u. is going to be the answer to all their problems all show. many. things. besides. all.

this is a disillusionment in serbia if the governments apparent willingness to bend over backwards to eat in mons so what could be next on the ease list but another major sticking point is thought to be serbia's failure to recognize breakaway cause of a belgrade val's that will never happen despite many member states pushing for exactly that present but it insists that serbia is moral and legal implications have now been fell's the song remains the same as led zeppelin says it. really hasn't changed has a chance to write a true. because i'm sure is the project for the rest of the car and had it for me it will have a major obstacle in its rates to even be there with its themes the way the thirtieth those it gets is part of the deal with the e.u. now he does serve the great. of

a serving government we're going to any lengths to join the. filmmaker and scream i said. i think when a government says that the e.u. does not have an alternative it means that it should be attained at any cost and of course the recognition of course of all will be no exception to that even though it hasn't been said so directly by heads it has been said by lower ranking officials so i think the recognition course that will come as a next step and sadly i think. the people of serbia think they are powerless to stop that i think there are two types of people in serbia people who have illusions about the e.u. and people who are realistic about the e.u. those who have illusions about the e.u. think that the e.u. will solve all their problems most of them are hopeless to begin with and are looking for any sort of way out of their situation and they completely ignore was happening in greece what's happening in portugal spain cetera et cetera and then

there is a second group of people who i think is the majority in serbia who are realistic who know there is no quick fix to the situation in serbia and know that joining the european union at this point would be like being on a sailboat you know on the ocean trying to board a titanic. well we're all married twenty four seven but there are always more stories to be found on our website auntie dot com here's a sneak preview of what lies in store for the. sewing group of course of politicians the most they can be a messy business especially this glamorous a group of women who put on the high heels and very long time to watch dozens of russian made cars and they do it all in the name of heaven love of prime minister also. amazing pictures of russian car size performing tricks like you've never seen before more of that fabulous air quine starts just a click away at our online galleries find them at aussie dot com.
